Hi guys, you can check out this video to learn an easy trick to extend/expand your photo's background/backdrop in Affinity Photo because as you know there's no Content-Aware Scale in Affinity Photo, so instead you can try this trick. I hope you enjoy this video, thank you!
Unlike many raw converters, AP has no facility for recording the settings you dial in during raw conversion (like a sidecar file, database, or embedded DNG metadata). If you do a raw conversion into the Photo persona and simply close the resulting file, when you open the raw file again, you start over.
Similarly, AP has no analog to a Smart Object in PS. So, once you perform your raw conversion into an RGB file, you cannot reopen it into the Develop persona as the original raw file; you can, however, open the converted RGB file in the Develop persona and edit it there, if the tools there are better for whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. This is analogous to editing an RGB file in PS using the Camera Raw filter.
Because almost everything you might want to do to an RGB file in AP is non-destructive (adjustment layers, live filter layers) you can send a TIFF from DxO to AP and do non-destructive edits to it. If you realize that you need to make changes to the original raw file in DxO, your changes in DxO are preserved by DxO, so it is just a matter of reopening the raw file in DxO, editing there and then exporting the new TIFF to AP. Then swap that new TIFF into the file with all of your edits in layers above the original TIFF image. If they are all non-destructive edits, they will all just modify the new edit and you can adjust them for the new edit image.
You're welcome, I hesitated when Mojave was having a lot of issues and applied the. "if it aint broke don't fix it" approach. Newer OS X may have a few more bells and whistles but I can't see the point in those if you are forever trying to fix issues with OS X and the system fights against you. I'd rather have stability, compatibility and functionality over gimmicks any day of the week.
